Tutorials, Hints and Tips for Web 2.0 Design
Whilst looking around for some hints and tips on the very characteristic user-centric web 2.0 design, I found a number of resources that you might find useful. For a number of resources on building a web 2.0 website from scratch, here are 30 resources on simplehelp.net.
For some very detailed Web 2.0 design tips, webdesignfromscratch.com has a number of specific design tips. For playing around with aqua style buttons, then here is a photoshop-based tutorial for a Web 2.0 header.
I hope that they come in useful. I intend to look at them in more detail for my more important websites.
Changes in the JagoNetwork
I’ve started my changes in the JagoNetwork now, and I am selling off one of my popular sites DirectorySpy.com on the Digital Point forums. I also am planning to sell one of my directories, and kill off one of my sites.
This is to greatly simplify the network so that I can spend more time on other projects. This also means I can give my current websites more time for development.
Finally! TV Out working on my Jetway J7F2!
I finally got the TV out working on my mini itx system! I had spent ages changing BIOS settings and playing around with the xorg.conf configuration file in an attempt to get some output on the TV.
In the end, it was a jumper setting to enable S-VHS/composite output which was completely hidden under a LCD daughter board that has been installed by the previous owner (I purchased the box 2nd hand as a complete system). I found out about it by doing much searching and finding a Jetway motherboard manual for a very similar motherboard to my own.
I had already installed the OpenChrome Via Display Adaptor Drivers and I was certain they were working correctly due to the output messages I was reading in the xorg log file. With some help from Adam, we set up the xorg.conf using details provided for getting TV out working with OpenChrome.
Now that TV out works, I’m playing around with DVD, MP3 and DivX support. Hurrah!
Trouble getting TV Out on a Mini ITX PC
A while ago, I treated myself to a mini ITX PC. I’m looking to move to a Myth TV box (based on Ubuntu Linux), but before I buy a perfect system, I want to get the mini ITX working with the TV first. However, I cannot get the PC to recognise the TV at all. I’m expecting the PC to detect the TV on boot, but its not.
I’ve looked in the BIOS, and can’t see anything. Fiddling with the driver under Linux doesn’t appear to work. Any ideas?
